![Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/691/215/331.png "What the actual f--- are we supposed to do about this")

May I take your coat, Master Percius? permalink [5] 10 points 58 minutes ago- [-) DrowEnthusiast GAR KINO I hate gamergate:.. fine... can i have my coat check ticket? Edit: If #GamerGate is a consumer boycott and a call for ethics reform in game industry media 个 If that is the definition of gamergate, then I love gamergate report give gold reply -1 Alexaroth PC Master Race1 5 points 54 minutes ago Sorry, Sir. of course, Sir! But, to be fair now, gamergate exists for the same reason you made this point. However imagine not 1, but 14 different publications calling you 'dead in the time-span of 48 hours permalink save parent report give gold reply Haha thanks. 1 don't completely follow I was under the impression the main point of gamergate was unprofessiournalism by Kotaku and similar sites colluding on the direction theirs stories should take. I also know that some of it was sparked with a dev allegedly sleeping with a journalist. I guess I equate the PC Gamer thing to an attack on free speech, its supporters, and specifically our community. permalink save parent report give gold reply [-] Alexaroth CNW Rd 5 points 47 minutes ago- ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v-ipcWm4B3EU4 This should help. the 14 publications part is at 0:22. But year, that's pretty much it. It has evolved waaaaaayyy past its original purpose and now gg essentially covers areas such as game journalism, charity (hundreds of thousands of $ for various causes http://gamergate.me/charity/), freedom of speech, freedom of information and many more g permalink save parent report give gold reply [-] DrowEnthusiast (Mr. Rarlsj 4 points 43 minutes ago Well that certainly cleared that up! 수 permalink save parent report give gold reply [-] DrowEnthusiast GEWSRTVO.S] 3 points 40 minutes ago I have always been under the assumption that #gamergate was meant to infer that gamess are misogynists. I knew that #notyourshield was a counter to journalists speaking for them. permalink save parent report give gold reply 소 + Gamergate and notYourShield are two sister hashtags. NotYourShield was created because SJWs often called gamergaters "white, virgin neckbearded men' and that GG is filled with them. So tens of thousands of minorities from GG (women, colored people etc) created the hashtag to disprove that argument permalink save parent report give gold reply You have opened my eyes.
